[Users] AOL/Yahoo connect problem

Hi, list --

Been using this account for a long time. It appears there is a recent
change to the IMAP implementation since AOL free email accounts were
taken by Yahoo.

The credentials are not incorrect as stored in configuration.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to what I can do to keep accessing the
account with CM? 

I did try troubleshooting using telnet, but the connection was closed
before I could even log in.

Here's the log:
